Can anyone tell me how to insert a picture?
Here are picture posting instructions. There is more ways than just this method. IF YOU NEED HELP, ASK!
POSTING PICTURES IN A THREAD USING PHOTOBUCKET:
Before you try to post a picture, take the time to upload your pictures to Photobucket. You can sign up for a free account at this site. This site makes it pretty convenient, but you may have to devote a little time to learning this as well.
http://www.photobucket.com
1) Upload or email your pictures to Photobucket:
2) Within the PHOTOBUCKET album, copy the picture's IMG CODE using CTRL-C (or RIGHT-CLICK COPY).
3) When you view your pictures in a Photobucket album, the IMG CODES are right under the thumbnail or you can open the picture and get the codes.

4) Then come to the forum, click on POST REPLY at the top of an earlier post, (or POST NEW TOPIC -- if it is a completely new topic; ALWAYS USE REPLY TO ADD A PICTURE OR REPLY TO AN EXISTING THREAD).
5) In the message window on a separate blank line, paste the URL into the file|open dialogue box using CTRL-V (or RIGHT-CLICK PASTE).
6) Notice there are brackets surronding the URL with image codes. Make sure the brackets are present. The brackets are right next to the letter "P" on the keyboard, should you have to use them.
Notice the /slash in the closing tag only. (Photobucket provides these tags). Now you can preview post you are working on. You can go back and forth to COPY and PASTE more pictures if necessary. I work with two separate TABS in Internet Explorer 7 or in FireFox. One with BladeForums and one with PhotoBucket.
You can adapt this to any acceptable image from the Internet that has a URL associated with it, and surround the URL ADDRESS with the correct IMG CODES.
GOOD LUCK!
